Just noticed in the Wanted section several folks looking for some of the classics. OK, who let the word out that these are some of the best bikes ever made?

I confess, it was me.

It's just so hard not to brag! :-D

It's good to see the Classics being sought after and desired. :upthumb:

I wouldn't call them popular, though, as it's such a rarity to see another. I've had mine for 3-1/2 years, and I've seen only a handful of other triple classics on the road.

They are great motorcyles! I tested a number of bikes before getting my Tbird, and I've since tested many other bikes (including Ducati's and BMW's), and I have always been glad to get back on my Triumph Classic (though a used Sprint ST did tempt me pretty bad once).

I have tested quite a few different bikes since buying my TBird, the most recent being a Cagiva Raptor 1000, I thouroughly enjoyed it, but it was like coming home when I got back on my TBird. I would consider one as a second bike if they werent so expensive. :-D
